YEs you can. It is VERY easy. Like legos.

 

[S Money 17]

Can you find out if this motherboard supports a upgrade to a me graphics card please

 

[tiny voices]

Also no, the i3 and A4 has basically the same exact performance integrated graphics.

Okay, this even has a graphics card independent:

No this GPU is worse than integrated.

I'm a 14 year old I can't build a pc

14! That's plenty old I don't want to try to change your mind or force you into anything, but building a PC is fun, easy, and even brings bragging rights to your friends 😛

Oh.

Yes it will, but the CPU is so weak adding a GPU is legitimately pointless.

This is a proper build. The best by far for the money. It will actually play games.

@Tiny Voices: He could survive with Intel HD 4400 for a while until he buys a GPU, but if you buy the Pentium it has Intel HD Graphics.

Look, I answered this 3 times now.

YES, but it is pointless because the CPU is so weak so even a low end card will not be any good. The CPU has good integrated graphics for what it is on purpose. You are NOT supposed to use a GPU with these types of CPUs.

 

[S Money 17]

Our saying if I put one in it won't work?

He's saying that it will work, but it will not be able to use its full power and resources because the CPU cannot keep up with it.

....

The CPU won't be able to keep up with the GPU and your games will lag terribly. So yes it will work, but it would only lead to worse performance.

 

[tiny voices]

Correct. Any modern GPU will be limited so much by the CPU it will be a waste of money.

 

[S Money 17]

If I put a new CPU later on?

 

[tiny voices]

You can only upgrade at most to an Athlon x4 750k and even then, that is a low end CPU. If you want to upgrade, you really need to be looking at intel, not AMD.

 

[S Money 17]

O I can't put an intel CPU in this?

 

[S Money 17]

You said it can't run black ops 2! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQj6fQknrE

 

[tiny voices]

No, it is limited to AMD APUs.

Also that video is recorded at WAY less than 1080p and doesn't even get 30fps. Youtube makes it look WAY smoother than it really is.
